For colorwork, you might try carrying one color in each hand. Throw the mc and pick the cc, for example. That’s what I do. That will give you some practice with picking without breaking the rules you’ve listed here!

Good luck.

Catching up on your knitnews Aud and I think in the end you will turn out a great pair of mitts and have mastered your new technique and all the combinations! I know you. Good luck!!

I’m in awe that you can knit this way, Laurie!

You can do it! Look at it this way, once you get this down you can use Continental on the knit side and then, without turning the fabric, English your way back across (knitting backwards).

I love using this technique on everything. I’m doing a shawl right now. Instead of purling back I’m knitting backwards so I don’t have to turn my work. (Purling hurts my hands.)

It’s GRRRRRRRREAT!!
